For over two years, I had a "friend" who would consistently sexually harass me. He's an ex-boyfriend of mine, and I broke up with him because of sexual harassment, but continued to maintain contact with him because of a mutual friend -- our mutual friend was someone I only ever got to spend time with when my ex was around, so I was afraid to stand up for myself because I thought it would jeopardize my friendship with the mutual friend. For the months following the break up, he would harass me physically, but eventually it was just verbally. A few days ago, I had it. He had once again contacted me solely to harass me, and I just couldn't take it. Being over a social networking site, I wrote him an angry response and then blocked him. He did try to use our mutual friend as a messenger, but I sent that friend a message asking him not to relay my ex's messages, and it turned out that he (my friend) was completely on my side.
I'm really glad I finally did that, as I've wanted to for a long time. I didn't lose my friend over it either. :)
Unfortunately, my ex lives in the same city and on the same train line as I do. So I'm just hoping I won't run into him before I move.
